Vegan activists to stage protest outside Costa Coffee shops this weekend

Vegan activists will stage another demonstration outside Costa Coffee shop this weekend. Campaigners plan to gather in major cities - including Bristol - on Saturday (March 11) to protest against the dairy industry.

Organisers Viva! - a UK vegan charity - staged a similar demo in January, which took place in Broadmead. Protesters will once again stand outside coffee shops with placards to 'educate' customers about the dairy industry and plant-based alternatives like oat, soya and almond milk.
